Flower Bouquets

Hello everyone! Thank you for your sweet comments about my tussie mussies! I had plenty of flowers leftover and for some reason I don't have a lot of vases, so I had fun with some different arrangements.A mason jar seemed like a good place for the daisies. I also added a little ribbon around the jar.Here they are on my patio table.

I also had them in my kitchen for a little while.

A blue pitcher for yellow daisies.

Next, I got out a silver dish.

Place a doily in it...

along with some leaves from my garden.

I placed a candle in the middle.

Then set roses all around it.

Some of you may remember the luncheon sets I got at a yard sale last weekend. As you can see, they aren't just for tea!

A cup of roses, anyone? :0)

And last but not least, the remaining roses went into a teapot.

Thank you for looking at my flower arrangements! What are some unique containers you've used for flowers?

You really did have fun! They all look great! I love mason jars filled with flowers. That is actually how all of the tables at our wedding were decorated. Mason jars filled with blue and purple flowers that were growing on the property.

what a delightful blog this is!! i came to your blog from the dragonfly enchantment blog. your flower arrangements are lovely, particularly all the unique containers you used as vases. i plan to make some tussie mussies tomorrow!! i'll be back to visit!!!

I used a mason jar the other day too, for tulips that I cut for my daughters bday ( thanks for leaving a sweet comment!) I just love the roses in the tea cup and in the pitcher, what versatile uses!!!!

I love your creative flower containers. Hmm, I've used a cocktail sauce bottle for wildflowers from my garden. I liked the shape so I removed the label and tied a piece of jute twine into a bow around the neck and then knotted the streamers. It was very sweet. In fact, I still use it. Sometimes when I get flowers where the head has broken off of the stem, I like to float it in a little bowl. This works especially well with flowers that are wide and flat like gerbera daisies.
